Because I'm participating in a Buy Nothing Challenge this month, it has been difficult for me to "buy" a new object for Try-It Tuesday. So, in order to not cheat on my challenge, for this week's Try-It Tuesday, I'm going to be reviewing a new website for avid book readers. 
Goodreads is a wonderful network that brings readers together with other readers. Free of charge, this website allows you to add books to your on-line bookshelf and review these books on a scale of 1 to 5. Then you can be matched with other readers who share your same interest.Functions of the website:
Your Bookshelf - this window allows you to see all the books on your bookshelf, the rating score you assigned the book and the average score for all readers.
My Friends - this window shows all your reader friends and allows you to add friends at will. You can see at a glance how many books your friends have read.
Explore - this window shows you the latest books that have been rated. You can read reviews as well as comments by other readers.
Meet People - this window allows you to meet other readers who are on the site at the current moment. You are able to find readers close to your own hometown or across the ocean.
Authors - this window allows you to see the huge number of authors who are signed up on the site. It is really cool to see what some of your favorite authors are reading.
Groups - is the last window on this site and it shows you the number of reading groups participating on Goodreads. You can join groups from this page, or see what other groups are reading.
So, if you're an avid reader or just enjoy reading books reviews, check out Goodreads - you'll be glad you did!

Thanks for participating in "Try It Tuesday" - I appreciate it!
And, buy nothing? I just bought two new pairs of shoes yesterday.
I don't think I qualify.
Trying a new website is a perfect way around your Buy Nothing Challenge, Bobbi - you're not going to get caught that easily.
